Question about them resolving issues from childhood / adolescence. My wife is like her father, both introverts with a bit of narcissism. They find it very difficult to view other people perspectives / opinions. They can not apologize for anything even if they know they have wronged.
I personally feel my wife's issue revolve around her parents. Both European immigrants that worked their butts off to make a better life for their family. The issue is they never found a life beyond this, they never did anything for themselves, took risks etc. They were very loving and not overly strict except for excessive rules ( eat your entire meal, keep things organised clean etc.)
My wife became a rebellious teen ( nothing crazy) She dated somebody the parents did not approve of. Her father did not talk to her for an entire year because of his stubbornness and his own issues. I am certain this scarred my wife.
Her parents never supported her taking risks and finding herself. I know my wife is resentful for this. She has a terrible time making decisions and finding a life beyond raising kids and her job.
Question: I can recognize these issues from her upbringing, but does she? This also may have nothing to do with her issue. She is still if a fog, seems depressed and lost at times. We get along great, do everything normal as parents but zero indication of moving towards fixing us.
She currently is seeing a therapist every 3 weeks but I have no idea what they are discussing.
If my wife has issues from her past and is in MLC, does she recognize these issues?
